Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon instant chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 420°F (220ºC). Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chicken stock, and Italian seasoning. Place the chicken in a baking dish, sprinkle with the seasoning mix, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Add butter cubes on top of the seasoned chicken.
- Bake the chicken in the oven for 16-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Stir the chicken halfway through baking for even cooking. The chicken should be golden and crispy on the edges. For extra crispiness, broil on high for the last 2 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve the chicken bites over cauliflower rice, drizzle with pan juices, and add a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
Notes
For a flavor boost, squeeze some lemon juice over the chicken before serving.
